| Summary: | Why of all Christian apocalypses did only the Revelation of John enter into the New Testament canon? This study analyses the message and its formulation of some of the most ancient Christian apocalypses as well as their reception in order to understand why early Christianity produced apocalypses and why one of these found its way into the New Testament. An apocalypse allowed the construction of a christo logical and soteriological theology in tune with the historical setting, and the Revelation of John entered more easily into the canon because it revealed itself capable of giving appropriate answers to most questions as time went on. |
